The incident resulted in the victim being taken to hospital after he was punched in the face. But the appeal appears to have backfired.
Instead of attracting useful information from the public, most have just taken to the post to comment to mock the man’s “bowl cut”.

Dozens of users said the man was a spitting image of Lloyd Christmas - Jim Carrey’s iconic character in the Dumb and Dumber films.

Others said he looked more like Spock, Still Game’s Methadone Mick and even Kim Jung Un.

"He is described as white, aged around 20-years-old, around 6ft tall and was wearing a grey Fred Perry top with a blue and red trim. He had dark coloured hair which was shaven at the sides and longer on top."

Detective Constable Carolyn Alexander, from Falkirk CID, said: "This was a violent and unprovoked attack and we are keen to trace the man pictured.

"I would ask anyone who recognises him and can help us trace is current whereabouts to get in touch.

"Equally if the man pictured sees this appeal we would urge him to contact officers as soon as possible."
